Net gain for Kelset Elementary students Siblings Anya and Levi Viinikka spearheading school fundraiser Devon MacKenzie News staff

A local brother and sister team are raising funds with their school to help purchase mosquito nets for families in Zimbabwe.

Levi, 9, and Anya Viinikka, 7, are spearheading the fundraising initiative at their school, Kelset Elementary, in North Saanich and hope to raise $4,050 through the Plan Canada-sponsored initiative by midFebruary.

The nets, which cost about $10 each, are designed to keep mosquitos at bay while families sleep, therefore decreasing the chances of malaria.

“It kills millions of people every year,” “A mosquito explained Levi of the net costs $10 and disease.

“A mosquito net helps protect a costs $10 and helps protect a family for family for three three whole years.” whole years.”

“Over Christmas holidays my children and I were looking through the Plan Canada brochure. It comes every year and we always go through it as a bit of lesson on what people in other countries experience and what they need like clean water, goats and mosquito nets,” explained the kids’ mom, Jennifer Derejko-Viinikka.

“When they went to school after the holidays the kids asked the principal, Mr. Franceschini, if they could do the fundraiser and he said yes. As of last week the school has already raised $830 which is 21 per cent of

Levi and Anya also made a YouTube video with a little help from Jennifer which is helping solicit donations from a wider audience, including extended family members and friends.

“The kids’ uncle travels a lot and he has two friends that have had malaria so they were able to ask him all about what the disease is like. Levi’s teacher, Thirell Trottier, also lived in Africa so she’s done lots of talk-

ing to her class about it as well,” said Jennifer, adding that donations in the school are really ramping up and some students who have had birthday parties in the last couple of weeks have chosen to take collections for the initiative instead of gifts.

“It’s great to see everyone coming together at the school,” she said.

Taking tea at Spring Prelude Get a look at nature yet to bloom at Butchart Gardens’ annual Spring Prelude

White orchids are in bloom at Spring Prelude.

Steven Heywood News staff

Butchart Gardens is bringing out the colours of spring a little early in their annual Spring Prelude event.

In what is normally a restaurant throughout the year, the gardeners have created a warm environment for a variety of local and exotic plants and surrounded them with waterfalls, streams, rocky paths and sitting areas. Butchart Gardens’ public relations director Graham Bell says the display offers visitors a respite from the drab, dreary weather of winter.

“It’s really still very early for natural plants to be showing up,” Bell said, adding even most of the outdoor gardens on site are still in the bare bones stage.

During Spring Prelude, flowers of many sorts are bursting out in vibrant colour and even marigold trees are showing signs of newly-formed buds.

“It’s a blend of things you probably won’t find in people’s gardens around here,” Bell said.

From now until March 31, this collection of unique plants, flowers and herbs is open to the public. The site, Bell continued, has become a popular spot for weddings and already they have quite a few bookings.

The environment is forcing the plants into early bloom — it’s warm and moist and new plants are being brought in every day to keep it lush and growing. With winter remaining on the Saanich Peninsula, Bell added, Spring Prelude offers people some greenery and colour amidst grey or rainy days.

At the same time, Butchart Gardens has opened its historical display, on until March 16, featuring the story of the Butchart Family who started a rock quarry and cement operation back in the early 1900s and built their home on the 135 acre site. In portions of the old Butchart homestead, people can visit dining and sitting rooms, as well as a billiards area. Behind the scenes, there’s a tiled swimming pool area that’s no longer in use. The room itself is used for storage now.

From the early days of quarrying and business deals, to the Butchart’s extensive travel and welcoming of dignitaries to their home and grounds, the historical display offers the stepping stones from the turn of the 19th Century to the turn of the 20th.

Visitors can end their Spring Prelude with high tea at the Butchart Gardens. Featuring specialty delectibles and their own 100th Anniversary loose tea, high tea is a special way to complete any visit to the Gardens. Learn more at www.butchartgardens.com.

Sidney woman charged in Wakefield Manor fire

Submitted photo

Minister of State for Science and Technology Greg Rickford (right) presented the Bomber Command Bar to Norman Reid, a Sidney resident who served in the Royal Air Force.

Sidney veteran honoured SIDNEY — A Sidney man was honoured recently for his service in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Norman Reid was presented the Bomber Command Bar by the Minister of State for Science and Technology Greg Rickford during a ceremony at the B.C. Air Museum on Jan. 10.

The award was announced in 2012 and is given to all aircrew who served in RAF Bomber Command in recognition of their service and sacrifice during the Second World War. Reid, a life member and longtime supporter of the B.C. Aviation Museum, flew 42 missions in Vickers Wellington bombers and took part in the crucial raids on the Polesti oil

refineries.

Forced to bail out twice due to enemy action, he was able to evade capture on both occasions.

The first time he returned to his unit on foot and resumed operational flying. On the second occasion Reid was able to link up with the underground operating in the Balkans and continued the struggle there.

All former Bomber Command aircrew, or their families on their behalf, may apply for the award by contacting Veterans Affairs. For more information visit www.veterans.gc.ca/ eng/collections/cmdp/bomber.

SIDNEY — A woman was slapped with charges under the criminal code last week after a fire broke out at Wakefield Manor in Sidney.

The condo building on Third Street in Sidney suffered minor damage after the suspicious fire broke out in the early evening of Jan. 8.

Officers from Sidney North

Saanich RCMP and members from the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department responded quickly and all residents were evacuated safely.

Investigators later determined the blaze was started after someone deliberately set fire to a pile of materials located in front of a resident’s suite on the third floor.

While viewing security system footage, RCMP investigators were able to observe and identify a woman manipulating the materials prior to the ensuing fire. She was also a tenant of the building.

The woman was charged under the criminal code and appeared in court this past Monday.

Police warn of continuing Grandson scam SIDNEY — Sidney North Saanich RCMP are reminding residents of an ongoing fraudulent scam referred to as the Grandson Scam.

The scam typically involves an elderly resident receiving a frantic call from a younger male caller stating he is their grand-

son and he is in some form of trouble requiring their help. This usually involves some form of money transfer to be sent to another province where the caller needs bail money or has been in an alleged accident.

The caller typically talks fast and tries to avoid too many

questions, coaching the victim to send money. Police remind people to take the time to clearly identify the caller and not to take what is said for granted.

Many of these calls are to persons who do not even have grandchildren.

OUR VIEW

Help steer this road debate Tomorrow is Sidney’s much-anticipated open house on the future of Beacon Avenue — or at least a discussion about the direction drivers will be traveling through town.

The Town of Sidney is hosting the meeting to garner people’s opinions about Beacon — and whether it should be all two-way driving or left as-is with a three-block, one-way section. The conversation should be lively throughout the planned three-hour session, but people should not expect a major debate between those folks looking for change and those who want the status quo.

An open house is, in general, a sedate affair that offers information and experts to help answer people’s questions. There might be opportunity for speeches or comments from Town staff and proponents for change but this event is simply an information-gathering session.

An active debate over the issues (safety, economy, access) would imply a chance is being given for people to convince others of their argument and for residents to have a say in the outcome of the matter — for instance, in a referendum.

Since there’s no referendum on the table, Thursday’s open house is information gathering for Town staff and council, who will in the end make a decision on Beacon Avenue.

Yet despite a lack of any fireworks in the form of lively debate, folks should not pass up the opportunity to be heard.

Politicians tend to respond most strongly to either a clear majority — or a very vocal minority when there are no other voices to offer any opposition.

So here’s to not making Sidney council’s job any easier — after all, they were elected to make the tough decisions.

The News Review has said that no matter how the Beacon Avenue traffic direction goes, the decision to get there needs to be done for all the right reasons, including keeping the Town of Sidney beautiful. To that end, this debate needs people’s voices to be heard and we encourage residents and visitors alike to speak up, tell the Town how you feel and what you want your community to look like.

LETTERS At what price waterfront development in Sidney?

A fter spotting a wee ad in the Peninsula News Review about the proposed Seaport Place development, I attended the open house and I could not believe my ears or my eyes.

How could the Town let this developer coerce them into trading Sidney’s most valuable piece, and only piece of water front property available for development, for a narrow strip of green space and property taxes on a few condos. Has this council no vision or even any sense of property value? This developer currently holds the lease on this property and wants to develop it.

The Town wants to see it developed but at what price?

The developer questions the validity of establishing a successful commercial venture on this property; pointing to the abandoned buildings as proof of that. However, this same developer purposefully bought out the subleases of very successful enterprises which were quite popular. When these businesses were in operation the area buzzed with people, winter and summer.

With buildings abandoned and left to deteriorate, the people have gone elsewhere. The developer appears to have cre-

ated the abandoned eyesores as a tactic to leverage the approvals that he needs to go ahead with his plans. And the Town appears to be overly anxious to let him.

The purposeful lack of maintenance on the buildings of existing subleases operations prompted the Town to insist, at least, that these buildings (which have 10 more years on their lease) get a facelift.

The developer has agreed of course but this agreement is contingent upon the developer getting his condo project approved. I think I know what will happen if he doesn’t.

The Town owns the land but the devel-

Readers respond: Sidney’s Beacon Avenue public forum Beacon works well as-is I could not agree more with Barry Bell’s comments (Peninsula News Review, Jan. 17) regarding keeping Beacon Avenue the way it is.

The last place I want to see my tax dollars go is into something that works so well as it is.

My husband and I moved from Ontario two years ago and one of the first things we noticed is how well the whole town flowed. It did not take us more than a minute to adjust to the one way traffic flow. We loved it!

We came from a town very similar to Sidney with a two way main street. The traffic was far more congested and the parking harder. Here it is much easier to park on both

sides of the street.

I am in Sidney almost every day and have never seen anyone going the wrong way on Beacon. My guess is that it does not happen very often and when it does an accident would not occur.

I agree with Barry the two way stop signs on Bevan and James White create more of a problem.

The one way flow gives Sidney a character all it’s own. Please do not destroy it.

Karen Turrall Sidney

Find the best way for Beacon It is wonderful that so many folks have been engaged in the conversation about a vision for our downtown street.

I’m looking forward

to the public forum this week (Jan. 23, Mary Winspear Centre, 4 to 7 p.m.) about Beacon Avenue.

Whether it is one way or two way, let’s find the best way for our sunny Sidney ByThe-Sea to be a shining example of a more dynamic, all-inclusive, true downtown community street that benefits everyone.

As Janette SadikKhan said in her TED talk: ‘New York’s streets? Not so mean any more. You just need to re-imagine our streets. They’re hidden in plain sight.”

One has only to Google ‘shared spaces’, ‘complete streets’ or ‘livingstreets’ to find that there is more to a downtown than car lanes and sidewalks.

Check out the many videos on ‘YouTube’ to see that there is already a global movement afoot to steer away from car-centered town centres to ones that are inclusive of all modes of transportation and movement of people.

Complete streets are alive with parents pushing their kids in strollers, talking to folks with mobility issues riding their scooters or easily pushing their walkers, tipping their hats to neighbours on bikes and saying hello to pedestrians.

Cars can manoeuvre more easily, too, when we have designated lanes for scooters and bikes and sidewalks for pedestrians.

It is far better for

WATERMAIN FLUSHING The Town of Sidney will commence the mandatory annual flushing of watermains on February 3, 2014 with completion anticipated by the end of March 2014. Flushing will begin in the southern areas of Sidney and proceed north.

Temporary discolouration of water and/or low water volume may occur as a result of this activity.

This discolouration is not a health hazard. To clear your water lines, turn on your cold water tap until the water is clear. Upon request, we will provide advance warning of flushing in your vicinity for those persons with special requirements for water clarity. Please contact the Public Works Department at 250-656-1034 if you require notification. The Town of Sidney does not accept any responsibility for damage caused by low water volume or the use of discoloured water.

We therefore advise consumers to be on the alert for reduced water volume and/or temporary discolouration of water.

Brad Thomas, Foreman of Underground Utilities

NOTICE – Water Main Flushing The Water Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the months of January to mid May. Consult the “Advisories & News” quick link on the District’s web site at http://www.centralsaanich.ca/ residents/news.htm to view the flushing schedule for specific zones. Temporary discoloration of water and/or low water pressures may occur.

This discoloration is not a health hazard. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap in your laundry tub until the water is clear.

Upon request, we will provide advance warning of flushing in your vicinity for those persons with special requirements for water clarity. Contact the Central Saanich Municipal Yard at 544-4224, ext.

oper has a lease on it and unless the Town gives the developer what he wants they will remain saddled with derelict buildings on land that will be prevented from realizing its full potential and financial/social benefit to the town. We will, however, have a place to park (or will we?).

Between a rock and a hard place.

I hope the Town doesn’t blink because this development proposal does nothing to nurture tourism and jobs and economic development and is the worst thing that could happen. Worse than nothing at all.

Dreaming of a spring garden

I

n just over a week now it will be February and February has Valentine’s Day to brighten its dull weather.

Actually I’m not expecting any lovenotes this year ... well, maybe one from my son and perhaps a couple of my daughters will think kindly of me.

I got a wonderful card this Christmas from my eldest daughter giving me credit for all sorts of nice things she feels she may have inherited from me, which would be bound to annoy her dead father whose name was Douglas (not Jim).

I remember elementary school days when Valentines’ cards were exchanged. Giggling girls in the halls, showing off for the boys who made a point of ignoring them (both the cards and the girls).

Silly, but harmless although I still recall one card I cherished.

We were in Grade 3 and the boy’s name was Valentine Ramsdale. It must have made a real impression on me!

I’m going to send at least one mushy card to a male friend just to worry his current girlfriend and besides I’m very fond of him myself and he is single. Hi, John! Yoohoo! (Kidding, kidding.)

This week I’m going to Dig This to see if any of the current catalogues are in. Lying in bed, hacking and sniffling was so boring I spent a lot of time dreaming of a spring garden.

I even put a package of little Marvel peas to soak prior to planting them (only in my dreams).

Actually, peas are so hardy some gardeners plant them in late fall — fairly deep and the green shoots appear, like magic, in late February.

A layer of rotted manure a couple of inches beneath where the pea seeds are to go (two or three inches

Over the Garden Fence of soil on top) soon would give it a chance to blend with its surroundings.

I wonder if I could sneak a small bag of manure up in the elevator without causing a riot.

I could disguise it as fruit of some sort if I sprayed it with appleblossom perfume.

I opened the door to the balcony this morning and discovered, to my delight, that the potato pieces I planted last summer have sud-

denly decided to show up.

There is a pot full of big leaves in spite of its being January and they are potato leaves.

I can’t explain it, but am looking forward to their maturing sometime in the coming months and a feast of those succulent new spuds, sprinkled with salt and slathered with butter.

New potatoes need butter — margarine just won’t do it for me.

Lovely surprise, indeed!

I want to talk for a minute about geraniums and propogating them from cuttings and saving the parent plants as well.

I propose to cut off the top half of each plant, bring it inside, dip it in rooting hormone (shake off loose powder) and sit them all in water in a bowl on the kitchen counter (where I can keep an eye on them.)

When they produce roots, even tiny ones, I’ll plant them in soil, but keep them inside until they show signs of new growth.

The parent plants, if given a drink, will likely start to regrow and you’ll have enough geraniums to open a garden centre.

I’ve just had another look at those geraniums and they look rather tragic, rather shrivelled and sort of brown.

Not a good sign.

Oh dear, I had such high hopes for them and they have looked so pert all winter. Why are they suddenly looking so sad?

I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what will happen over the next couple of weeks and hope for the best.

Bruce McCulloch: From Kid in the Hall to Hollywood dad Natalie North News staff

Somewhere in the Hollywood hills, a middle age dad discusses the viral Internet video “What Does the Fox Say” with his seven and nine-year-old kids.

His son is enthralled with the carnivorous dance piece, while his daughter is more interested in deconstructing its comic appeal — a conversation which amuses their comedian father.

This is a snapshot in the life of Bruce McCulloch — comic, writer, actor, director, Kid in the Hall and creator of Young Drunk Punk, a solo performance exploring his often funny, and always true, journey from being an angry young punk in Alberta, to an L.A.based husband and father.

“A punk isn’t a literal punk,” says McCulloch, on the phone from his home.

“A punk is a questioning spirit, which is all of us, be we old or young. ‘Where do

I fit in?’ has never changed. All the people I know, unsuccessful or very successful, either personally or professionally, are all the same.”

Via standup, storytelling and live music from Odds’ Craig Northey, Young Drunk Punk draws on tales from McCulloch’s asyet unreleased book by the same name as he grapples with those bigger questions. The project comes at a time when McCulloch — despite having been behind a long list of comic television and big screen writing and directing successes — felt the weight of several failed network pilots and sought change.

“Part of the impulse to do this show, is that I want to connect with people and have my ideas connect.”

McCulloch performed an earlier version of the show with Brian Connelly last winter and more recently played to select L.A. audiences with Northey, who he calls on stage proof of

If there is any question about a child’s vision, a complete eye examination is recommended.

the punk themes, having lived through similar experiences in the 1980s, before the two began working together in the early ‘90s.

“It’s a lot to take on, but it’s more rewarding than anything else you could do. Of course, I’m obsessive ... I really want it to go well, but I’m not like I was when I was a young man. I want to have an honest experience.”

Part of that honest experience is in accepting what the young punk version of McCulloch would think of the man he has become.

He would be partially proud and partially

ashamed, McCulloch says.

“It’s more about ‘Am I following my artistic spirit?’ Which I think I am, mostly. I marvel at my former self and I’m bemused by my current self. As you get older, hopefully, you think more about the world than you do about yourself, which is where I would hope that I am.”

McCulloch, like his collaborator Northey, doesn’t place rigid expectations on his next endeavour. He does, however, foresee a change in locale. After 11 years in California, McCulloch hopes to bring his family home to Canada. It’s natural for the Canadians to wander back at a certain point, he says, before confessing his daughter may possess the gene that will inevitably drive her on teenaged jaunts to the Viper Room. Though able to joke with and about his children, McCulloch hopes they choose a different path.

vicnews.com Dear member of Parliament: I want to let you know I am upset the Conservative government approved Canada Post’s plan to end door-to-door mail delivery and drastically increase stamp prices.

This decision will have a serious impact on me, my family, friends and community. It will also hurt people with disabilities and seniors.

I believe Canada Post could preserve public postal service and improve its financial position by expanding parcel delivery and adding lucrative banking and financial services.

I value my public postal service. Tell Canada Post to scrap their plan. Please save Canada Post.

Sincerely, (signature) ___________________________________________ (printed name)________________________________________ (address)_____________________________________________ (city/town)___________________________________________ (postal code)__________________________________________

Panthers to take on Westshore Wolves

Devon MacKenzie News staff

The Peninsula Panthers are preparing to host their crosstown foes, the Westshore Wolves, this Friday.

The regular season of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League is now in the home stretch and with the Panthers sitting solidly in second place in the southern division, the Wolves are the only club in a position to catch them.

The team’s owner, Pete Zubersky estimates the two rivals may meet in the first round of the playoffs if the Panthers continue with their current 12-game home winning streak.

“Although beating the Wolves on Friday night wouldn’t clinch the second spot and home-ice advantage when we tangle in playoffs, I feel comfortable that they won’t catch us,” said Zubersky.

“We’re going for lucky number 13 at home win on Friday and putting those two points in the bank would be huge.”

The Panthers bounced the visiting

Panthers defenceman Matt Sheeran (number 77) knocks down Saanich Braves player Scott Henderson and steals the puck during last Friday’s game at Panorama Recreation Centre.

Saanich Braves 10-2 last Friday night, dominating the game from start to finish.

Tate Coughlin led the Panthers with three goals and two assists and defenceman Matt Sheeran chipped in with a goal and three assists.

A myriad of other Panthers hit the scoresheet in the blowout.

“The kids are really starting to hit their stride now,” said Zubersky, adding that the big, strong team is performing the best it has since his involvement with the club began in 1999.
